Lance

O.k. so I have been wanting to add some pictures of the house. My husband is a builder and he built us a house about 4 years ago. We lived there 2 years and now are renting our current home. We started building another home and Lance decided that selling it would be a better option. Well it sold very quickly to say the least. I just have to give my husband so much credit. He is so good with all that stuff. He knows what people want and how things can come together and look so nice. I have no taste for that sort of thing. Now that the house is almost finished, I am sad. I would love to live there. Some day I will have one all for myself. In the meantime... we will stick it out. hopefully this slide show will work.

Changed my mind

So I took the slideshow off. The pictures were just too blurry for my liking. So here are a couple of the ones from the slide show.
Wow I can't figure out what has
happened to the lazy summer days I
was supposed to be having. I feel
like it is flying by. We are all very tired, but the kids and I are having
so much fun and poor Lance is working so hard.
Bailie is doing horseback riding camp this week. What fun that is. She was crying because she thought this was going to be an everyday thing for the whole summer. When I told her I was only going to get up at 6 am for one week, she told me I was the worst mom ever. (I hear this frequently throughout the day. ) A lady told me the other day to wear that as a badge of honor. I think I will.
We have been to a couple Dust Devil games. The kids love the snow cones and I love summer nights and baseball. Poor Grandpa usually goes broke!!! It is a fun family activity and Brie was the loudest in the stadium last night. Man does that girl have an ear piercing scream. I hope everyone is having as fun of a summer as we are. Can't believe 4th of July is just around the corner.

I did it!!!

O.k. so yes I was back at picture People yesterday with the kids, but who could blame me? The girls that work there had told me there would be a truck of sand brought in and I thought what a great picture! So there I went. No sand, but great pictures!!! I ended up with yet another hole in the pocket book. Thanks Jack and Jami for the use of the surf board. It was fun. Next time they are allowed to snap one photo and that is it!!! Sorry the pictures are a bit blurry. Hopefully you get the idea.

So then we went swimming and the storm hit. And Bailie had a piano recital. Oh do I love the sound of the piano. She does so well and it is so fun to see her perform. Thanks to an amazing piano teacher.

Picture Day

I am not going to do a slideshow, but hopefully these couple of pictures show up. We were sweating trying to get just one picture. Nine kids 7 and under was no easy task. I was shocked that we got such a good one. The baby is only 2 weeks old. These are all the great grand kids on Lance's side. So lucky that we live close enough to do this. And anyone that knows me knows that we will be doing this probably twice a year at least. I love all these kids so much!!! Thanks girls for doing this with me.

Also just a fun note, my three kids were so excited to see their picture up on the wall at picture people. That was from our last visit there. They did so good at that one I walked out with a pretty big hole in my pocket book.

So I should tell you all the kids names, but I am having a hard time remembering my own at this point so I am going to sleep and I will add names later.

Here I Go!!!!

O.k. so I have been getting asked frequently why I do not blog. So I spend so much time on the computer I have decided, why not? So for all you serious bloggers that are my friends, I am going to need help!!! I am sure there are so many things I can be doing with my site, it will just take me some time to figure it all out. I have to say I will not be as creative or funny or sentimental as most of my awesome blogging friends are, but I will try. Any suggestions will be greatly appreciated.

So I am so excited that summer is here. My kids are fish! Poor Aunt Connie, we practically live at her pool all summer long. Today we are headed to the mall to take pictures of all the great-grand kids on Lance's side of the family. (If i can figure out how to post pictures I will add those.) Remember I am new at this. Then the kids get to go with Grandpa tonight to Cool Desert Nights. They love to ride in the Woody during the parade and throw candy at everyone. I get to go to work at midnight until 6. I know weird shift, but hey why not? So that is our day in a nutshell. My poor husband has been putting in some long hours. I can't wait to figure out the picture thing so I can add some of the beautiful house he is trying to finish. Did I mention that it is beautiful.?Someday....I will have one of my own.
